Every once awhile, people post a list of the good non-traditional games that they play on their cabinet. I usually read this list and say, "I have to try that game out." And when I get around trying that game out. I usually forget what game I was looking for to try out. And I can't find that post that listed the games to try. Since the topics on the main forum move so fast.

So what I suggest:

Sticky this post under the "Everything Else" and people can either post a list of the non -traditional games they play or even easier past a link to the posting that had that list of good games to try out.

Example: This post has a listing of some 4 player party games that I've never heard and have never tried

I believe that thread, howard, is more aimed toward non-mame games, while this one is more about mame.

I could be wrong on this, so feel free to correct me.

He he my wife loves Chicken Shift and Burger Time for some reason. My favourites are Defender ( haven't got the control panel for it unfortunately ), Joust, KikiKaikai, Juno First, Ghosts & Goblins and many others of course.

I just got my track ball...and I have to say a trackball game that I had never even heard of before called "Ataxx" is really excellent.

The AI is great and I find it to be really challenging.

It's very similar to Othello (remember that?) but a lot harder. I also like that when your computer opponent makes a particularly good move it laughs at you. I really like that goading into trying to beat the AI.

Gotta try "The Speed Rumbler"...Capcom was ahead of their time with this one. When your car catches fire, you can jump out of it and try to survive on foot with a shotgun and a somersault roll/dodge type manuever. Stay alive long enough, and your people bring you in a new car to get into into. Nothing is more satisfying than hopping out of your flaming heap, running around nilly willy trying to stay alive with guys shooting at you and cars trying to run you over to finally make it to your new ride and give those bastardds what they came for...SWEET!!

Plus, there is a time limit that keeps it's time even if you continue, so the pressure is still on even though credits are not a factor.

If Capcom had only let you steal enemy cars...this would have been Grand Theft Auto's great-great-grandad!

My favorite game which I never heard of --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- mame is probably Snake Pit. The trackball & stick combo is a great touch imo.

Another fun one from Sente is Off The Wall, similar controls but spinner & stick. I find the guys' arms pretty amusing
